DAILY OSCILLATIONS OF THE AIR TEMPERATURE IN SELECTED CONIFEROUS COMMUNITIES IN THE BORECKA FOREST
Journal Title: Miscellanea Geographica - Regional Studies on Development - Year 2008, Vol 13, Issue
Abstract
Two coniferous forest communities were selected for analysis: a marshy coniferous forest and a young spruce forest, both located in the Borecka Forest. Thermal conditions develop differently in each community during the spring, due to different tree crown closure, which influences the amount of direct solar radiation reaching the substratum. Soil humidity is another factor influencing the air temperature, since the capacity and thermal inertia of the soil depend on its humidity. The results of the study are compared with thermal conditions outside the forest.
